Have you Herd?

The Herd Community (Not Herd Immunity) are moving in to The Hold (Suffolk Archives) at Ipswich Water Front. The virtual herd were created during the lockdown to keep people creating and connected via a facebook page (Ipswich Herd Community). The elephants and mammoths were made from upcycled milk bottles and hundreds of fabulous characters have been produced. ‘Stellaphant’, ‘Sir Trumps-a-lot’, ‘Unicornphant’, ‘Britney the Hairy Mammoth’-post head shave, ‘telephant’ and many many more. They should be ready for the public to see by October Half Term as part of The Global Events Exhibition: Suffolk Stories. Book your places now. Many of the submissions will go on the be donated to The Ipswich Museum Collection for future generations to enjoy.

Quay Place Closure

Some sad news today. Quay Place will not be opening again. We will still be supported to put on a final exhibition but our CREATIVE CHANGE WORKSHOPS group but will no longer be able to meet there. My Art Residency was due to finish in July but our online community will continue until September and Suffolk Mind are still supporting us.

I know many group members have been deeply upset by this, but be assured that I will explore the possibility of alternative venues and funding pools to continue the amazing work of ‘Creative Change Workshops’. When one door closes another door opens.
